If you run a SYE kit, do you still have to run the crossmember spacers that come with the 4" Skyjacker lift?
Do you need to run crossmember spacers with SYE?

Crossmember spacers? You mean the transfer case drop?
No, you don't have to run those with a SYE, but you'll also need a DC driveshaft, and at minimum rear upper adjustable control arms.

I just bought an 02 TJ that the PO had done some upgrades on (Ford 8.8, adjustable upper CAs, SYE & 1.5" transfer case drop) & needed some others (sagging rear springs, old Rancho control arm bushings shot, interference with the diff cover & rear track arm on the gas tank skid plate). It had a bad vibration too. I pulled the rear driveline and had a shop look at it, bad u-joint & rebalanced it. Still had the vibration.
After reading Chris's suggestions, I removed the spacers & replaced the springs with an OME 2.5" set. Vibration is now gone. Driveline/pinion angle is much better, even to the naked eye.
Maybe sharing some pics of your pinion angle would help with suggestions.
